Student housing - Build a portfolio to weather all markets

According to Paragon Mortgages, student lets typically outperform the wider
market because they are let out on a per-room basis rather than a per
property basis, earning landlords an average income of 6.45pc. By contrast,
young couples earn property investors just 5.94pc a year.

The Mansion Student Accommodation fund has returned 11.2pc in the past 12
months. The fund invests in purpose-built student housing across England,
including sites in big university cities such as Bristol, Newcastle,
Manchester and London.

Although it is not open to direct investment from private investors, financial
advisers can invest on your behalf.
